[Bug 230003] [NEW] openssh-server: regression: won't install due to debconf error

[Malcolm Scott]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openssh-server

When upgrading openssh-server on a gutsy box today I ran into this:

Preconfiguring packages ...
openssh-server template parse error: Template #4 in /tmp/openssh-server.template.4862 has a duplicate field "template" with new value "ssh/vulnerable_host_keys". Probably two templates are not properly separated by a lone newline.
(...)
Preparing to replace openssh-server 1:4.6p1-5ubuntu0.2 (using .../openssh-server_1%3a4.6p1-5ubuntu0.3_i386.deb) ...
Template #4 in /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/templates has a duplicate field "template" with new value "ssh/vulnerable_host_keys". Probably two templates are not properly separated by a lone newline.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-server_1%3a4.6p1-5ubuntu0.3_i386.deb (--unpack):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 255
(...)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-server_1%3a4.6p1-5ubuntu0.3_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This blocks the installation of openssh-server.
